In Hallim, as in the rest of South Korea, tipping is generally not a customary practice. Instead, good service is expected in restaurants, cafes, and other service establishments without the need for gratuity. Some high-end restaurants or international establishments may include a service charge in the bill, but leaving an extra tip is not common and might even be viewed as unnecessary.

Payment methods in Hallim typically include cash and credit or debit cards. South Koreans heavily utilize electronic payment systems such as mobile payment apps (like KakaoPay and Naver Pay). For local markets and small vendors, cash may still be prevalent. However, card payments are widely accepted, and many establishments prefer electronic transactions for convenience.
